Yeah FWIW centralizing servers doesn't just make for better energy options, the more square footage a giant computer warehouse has, the easier it is to slap giant solar cells to the top and defray energy costs even futher, which basically every megadatacenter has. The problem is that everyone is using too loving much compute. However, mega data centers also allow companies to negotiate for cheaper energy (as does the availability of renewable options), and the relative cost of electricity to engineer hours is at the root of the problem: if you're paying a coder $350,000 per year, each hour of their time costs the same as 1.2MWh. The profit motive is insufficient to the task of incentivizing efficient energy usage in software. I have worked on a backend service that received a few dozen requests per week, but was provisioned with 6 boxes, each with a few dozen cores and a cluster-wide total of multiple terrabytes of RAM. When I suggested cutting the size, I was given a chart showing the cost of an hour of engineering time compared to the cost of these service boxes and basically asked "how long will it take you to change the configs, test, and deploy"? The dollars on the left were more than the dollars on the right, so the 3TB of RAM stayed.

loving hell. Your daily "gently caress I can't believe this isn't Shadowrun" moment: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/06/business/india-spinal-muscular-atrophy.html (or https://archive.ph/Y4oPP) quote:With a $2.1 Million Cure Their Only Hope, Parents Plead for Help Online This tidbit takes the whole thing from merely really hosed up to literal dystopia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onasemnogene_abeparvovec quote:In December 2019, Novartis announced that it would donate 100 doses of onasemnogene abeparvovec per year to children outside the US through a global lottery. The decision, which has been claimed by Novartis to be based on a recommendation by unnamed bioethicists,[39] was received with much criticism by the European Commission,[40] some European healthcare regulators[41] and patient groups (e.g., SMA Europe or the UK's TreatSMA) who see it as emotionally burdening, suboptimal, and ethically questionable.[42] Novartis did not consult with families or doctors before announcing the scheme.[43][44] Alan Regenberg, a bioethicist at Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, said that the scheme was perhaps the best available since it may be impossible to reliably establish prognosis for children under two years of age.[39]

wow this is truly inspiring and definitely not the first act in a tragedy about capitalis https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/16/22937198/bionic-eye-company-defunct-ieee-spectrum-go-read-this quote:More than 350 blind people around the world have implants in their eyes made by the company Second Sight Medical Products, which could help partially restore aspects of sight. But the company abandoned the technology a few years ago when it was teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, according to a new investigation from IEEE Spectrum. Now, if something goes wrong with the implants, users are left stranded. Basically everything about medical care under capitalism is an utter nightmare and there's no market for a product that lets someone hammer out one character per minute while contributing exactly zero to jeff bezos 14th yacht fund, so find that last flicker of hope and hold a pillow over it until it stops struggling because it WILL betray you if you don't.

I understand the outrage, but I do think the tone is different when it’s the co-founders (and thus presumably the owners) as the butt of the joke. It would be absolutely horrifying if those were just two random employees.

We'll be the ones to see them thru. Give us the tanks, give us the planes. Give us the parts, give us a ship. Give us a hip hoo-ray! And we'll be on our way. Heave Ho! My Lads, Heave Ho! It's a long, long way to go. It's a long, long pull with our hatches full, Braving the wind, braving the sea, Fighting the treacherous foe; Heave Ho! My lads, Heave Ho!
